Filler / Plug / Dipstick location

SandburRanch · Sep 4, 2011

The loader arms/ brackets etc. being in the way doesn't help one bit but could someone tell me where to find the hydraulic oil filler / plug / dipstick location on a TD75D. Left side , right side, rear, most anything would help. The pics are from the operators manual and the best I can do from them is #1 may be a hex head.

The filler plug/dip stick is at the rear on the right hand side above the pto guard. IIRC, it takes a 13mm wrench. It has a metal gasket underneath the bolt head.
If this still isn't specific enough, I'll take a picture of our TD95D and post that.
let me know.

Here's a picture. The hex bolt head between the coupler covers and in front of my knife is what you are looking for.

Thanks a bunch Jerry/MT. After your first reply I went back to where the tractor was and with a little eye strain I saw it. If my tractor was as clean as yours it would have been more visible. But there seems to be a problem. What was once a hex head is now what I would call a Gawdzillaoid. It isn't any wonder it didn't match what the manual showed. I don't know what monkey has been on that with what kind of wrench but I can say for sure it was the wrong one. It looks as if I'm stuck with using a pipe wrench now but I've been there before.

Thanks again, SandburRanch
